GOATS FOR UGANDAN WIDOWS
Our friend Vincent is providing goats to the widows in his village. The
concept is simple - each widow is given a doe (female goat). About
twice a year these goats are impregnated and produce young (Vincent has
a couple of viryle billy goats who are more than willing). Each widow
is asked to give the first doe offspring to another widow or
child-headed household in the village. She gets to keep the other
offspring. These goats provide milk for the family and manure for the
fields. As each herd grows, the widows experience a level of financial
independence that they have never known. Each goat costs £25 (which
includes ongoing veterinary support). Vincent needs 100 more goats to
empower all the widows in his community.
